My laptop (Vista, IE7) always waits a much longer period, yet my PC (Win XP
Pro IE7) shows "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page..." after only
a short period. (Both on ADSL).
Is there a way to lengthen the time before the 'cannot display' message
appears on my PC?
Thanks in advance.

You're assuming a timeout and retries is involved?
Have you traced it to check that assumption?
Perhaps you have the phishing filter active on Vista
but not on XP? <eg>
